Scorpios

There's a gang in every town
I say the rules be turned around
Listen here from one who knows
Be fearless just like the Scorpios

Pretty, look young be fearless
Like the Scorpion
Pretty, look young be fearless
Like the Scorpion
The Scorpion
The Scorpion

Black's the colour watch the claws
With nails as sharp as Diana Dors
Watching us is stopping you
From cruising Ugly Avenue

Pretty, look young be fearless

Like the Scorpion
Pretty, have fun, don't listen
When you're told there's none
The Scorpion
The Scorpion

And if by chance you cling to hate
Just rest assured it's your mistake

Hold up your head, you know I'm right
The street's the place, tonight's the night
The night look pretty, look young be fearless like the Scorpion
The night look pretty, have fun, don't listen when you're told there's none...

Picasso Visita El Planeta de Los Simios

See the Spaniard eating chocolates
See the Spaniard have a ball
See the Spaniard trust in no one
He's on quality street
He's on quality street

Chorus:
As the masters rot on walls
And the angels eat their grapes
I watched Picasso visit The Planet Of The Apes
As the masters rot on walls
And the angels eat their grapes
I watched Picasso
Pablo Picasso
Visit The Planet Of The Apes (yeah)

See the Spaniard seek companion
See the Spaniard take it all
See the Spaniard sell his friends out
He's on quality street
He's on quality street

And pretender's pretend
To their patronage lend
But it's the ones we don't see
That always fascinate me

(chorus)

And as the real heros died
And their ideas supplied
To a fat little magpie
With money in his eyes
They bowed and they scraped
As opinions he shaped
How every little sketch a fortune will fetch
And the bleach killer kills
And the bleach killer kills yeah

And as the masters rot on walls (see the Spaniard sell the whole world)... 

Prince Charming

Don't you ever, don't you ever
Stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome

Chorus:
Prince Charming
Prince Charming
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome

Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards

(chorus)

Silk or leather or a feather
Respect yourself and all of those around you
Silk or leather or a feather
Respect yourself and all of those around you

(chorus)

Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards

Prince Charming (2x)
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of
Prince Charming (2x)
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of... 

Five Guns West

Ladies can be captains and ladies can be chiefs
Just like glorious Amazons, Ann Bonny, Mary Read
Ladies can be captains and ladies can be chiefs
This stuff I'm talking buddy-bob
Don't give me any grief

5 Guns West

I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna take a whirl with a big tough girl
I'm a gig tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna spend my life with a big tough wife

A woman's wrath hath no man and this all men must fear
These ladies were from hell, carving crimson careers
A woman can be captain and a woman can be chief
This stuff I'm talking buddy-bob
Don't give me any grief

5 Guns West

I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna spend my day in a big tough way
I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna take whirl with my big tough girl

5 Guns West

Gonna taka a whirl with my big tough girl
I'm a big tough man and my name is Stan
Gonna take a ride with my big tough bride
I'm a big tough man with a big tough plan
Gonna spend my day in a big tough way

That Voodoo

Chorus:
That voodoo that you do
The shimmy lights through you
And no one can voodoo the voodoo
You do
Do to me yeah

I'm sorry if I'm not that tough
But not that tough is tough enough
Besides, the rough tough end up snuffed
Or in an alleyway
Anyway

I'm sorry if I'm not that smart
But not that smart is just a part
Of speaking firmly from the heart
Any day
Anyway

(chorus 2x)

A thrill a day keeps the chill away
Love like a dagger and a sound like a wymowheh
A thrill a day keeps the chill away
Love like a dagger and a sound like a wymowheh (voodoo!)

Stand and Deliver

Stand and Deliver!

I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection!
The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension!

Stand and Deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
The clumsy boots, the peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
So what's the point in roberry when nothing is worth taking?
It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making

Chorus:
Stand and Deliver your money or your life!
Try use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

Refrain 1:
And even though you fool your soul
Your conscience will me mine
All mine

We're the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses
Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
We're the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation
"Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation"

(Chorus)

(refrain 1)

Da diddley qua qua da diddley qua qua
Da diddley qua qua da diddley qua qua

Stand and Deliver your money or your life!
Stand and Deliver your money or your life!...

Mile High Club

747 or a VC10
Winter, summer who knows when
Takeoff passion flyaway love
Mile High Club

Chorus:
It's got it's ups and downs (4x)
I never heard that noise before

Don't be treated like a pound
Let currencies go up and down
Mashed Potatoe, Rocksteady Rub
Mile High Club

(chorus)

Never give up never say die
Ignore the fools when they cry
"If this thing fails - nothing at all"
It won't fail

It's got it's ups and downs (4x)

Ant Rap

Put some wax on the trax and slide on onta here!
Hane hane hane hane hane

Hatchets in the corner ears to the ground
Improve to the groove get down to the sound
Buttons and bows and blue blanc rouge
All things lively must be used
Liberté, egalité, au jour d'hui c'est très très très
Voici l'opportunité nous Incroyables

I got the moves they got the grooves
Summond the Gods and they all approved
Had vibes akimbo on the shelf
Bit of a rap thing going for myself
This gold on the teeth's no sense at all
It only matters when it's on the wall

* : I'm standing here with my four men
Let's start that rapping thing again:

Chorus:
Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty north and the sexy south
We're all singing I have the mouth
In the naughty north and the sexy south
We're all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth

So tired of anarchists looking at me
Don't need their credibility
"destroy" they say, "defy! condem!"
As long as you don't destroy them
With twenty years of drugs and drinks
I thought the time had come to think
About standing up and saying that
It's tragedy and such old hat

(*)

(chorus)

These happy feet are all we need
Summond the Gods and they all agreed
These feet won't stop they're in such a hurry
I knock it on the head and I go for a curry
Staying sober can be neat
Get drunk on these here happy feet
Keep on trying to pin me down
"Why a title for your sound?"

(*)

I got Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty north and the sexy south
We're all singing I have the mouth...

And I have the mouth
And you have the mouth
And they got the mouth

Mowhop

London town 1730
Women drunk, children dirty
They'd seen pictures from afar
Down in Gin Lane
Over the bar

Chorus:
Yo ho ho - Mowhok!
Yo ho
Yo ho ho - Mowhok!
Yo ho aee yo ho ho hoh

Here we are in the eighties
Mohican, proud and fair
Goes to show that a fashion
Can survive
So beware!

(chorus)

Ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho
Mowhok!
Ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho
Dey hoh
Ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho
Mowhok!
Ha ha hilla hey hallah hollo lo ho... 

S.E.X

And when summer gets to me
And sets the sex on fire
My body is an ocean
Of twisted white debris

And when summer gets to me
And sets the heart in motion
A pain that hides in my insides
Is suddenly set free

Chorus:
And sex is sex forget the rest
The only one that's free
The only great adventure left
To humankind, that's you and me

And when summer gets to me
And tries to make me tired
I'm living every minute
And dying every three

(chorus)

Let all the braggers brag
Sex
S - E - X
Virginity's no crime
Sex
S - E - X
Your body should be yours
Sex
S - E - X
And sharing it is sublime
Sex
S - E - X
